Abstract

The limiting levels of light energy concentration can be achieved by shortening of laser pulses (femto- and attosecond range) and by transverse squeezing of beams (sub-micrometer sizes). The latter approach can be realized in media with nonlinearity of refractive index of self-focusing type.
